Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing open on this item. Mr. Bill Brinton, representing Morgan Construction Company, 235 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, stated that he was at first unaware of the zoning code that prohibits a subdivision sales office within 200 feet of occupied dwelling units. He advised that as soon as he became aware of this requirement he applied for a variance. He stated the trailer he has been operating out of is an eyesore and he intends to re- move it as soon as possible, if the variance is granted. He advised that the trailer permit runs until July 1985. He advised that there is only one property owner within the 200 foot radius and that he is not opposed to the proposed sales office, as evi- denced by his letter on file in the Planning Department. No one in the audience spoke in opposition to this item. There being no further testimony, Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing closed. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Butler, and seconded by Council- member Wood, that Resolution No. 84-464, approving AP-84-12, appeal of Morgan Con- struction Company of a decision of the Board of Adjustment denying a variance to allow a subdivision sales office within 200 feet of an existing residence outside of the subdivision on property located on the east side of Muirwood Drive approximately 500 feet south of its intersection with West Las Positas Boulevard, after making the find- ings required for approval of a variance based upon the special condition that there is only one party within 200 feet and written acceptance of that situation, and sub- ject to the following conditions: (1) that the variance is approved solely to allow the establishment of a subdivision sales office in the two garages shown on the site plan, Exhibit A, dated 9/5/84, on file with the Planning Department; and (2) instruct staff to approve a minor revision to case UP-84-34, the conditional use permit govern- ing the model home complex for the Brookfield Place development, which relocates the subdivision sales office as approved in that use permit to the garages applied for under case V-84-15, be adopted.
